Especially felt was the loss of Georgia Pacific pay roll which left a number of family heads with out regular work. The low per capita Income in the county and the decision of adjoining counties to par ticipate in the program led to the decision that Clay County should also make this free food available to its needy people. This program will not affect the money payments into the county so it should free some food money for other basic needs. All persons who feel they are entitled to receive Government Surplus Commo dities should make application to the Department of Public Welfare In Hayesville. The following schedule has been set up for the receipt of application in March and should be followed by the var ious sections of the county.
